Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

My father summoned me.

That's me and Katia, too.

I don't know what it is, we both tilt our necks.

"Maybe, but aren't we talking about an engagement?

"What? Whose?

"So me and you"

I can't think of the next word in Katia's words that doesn't even clap.

"No, you don't"

"Well, you shouldn't be with us. Why don't you look around? Men and women the same age and close to home. Besides, he seems to be close to each other. Then it wouldn't be weird to talk about getting engaged right now."

When they say that, it may not be an unlikely story.

I'm a member of the royal family, too, and Katya is the duke's maid of origin.

I can make up for it.

"But are you good with that?

"You're not going anywhere. I can't imagine marrying a man. But I guess that's what's gonna happen someday, and you have to be ready to make up your mind or something, right?

"That's what you've been thinking for a while."

"Rude. But the truth is, it's easier for you to be my fiancée than anybody else. I know my situation, and I'm a little out of shape if I'm not here, but I can break my engagement by mutual agreement."

Do you also have such hands?

I never thought about my fiancée before, but I'm one of the royalty, so it wasn't weird when that kind of talk came.

Then it might be convenient for Katia, who is not even aware of each other, to be her fiancée.

Except for one thing.

"You, so what's Sue going to do?

"Ah."

That's right.

My sister Sue won't allow anyone to come near me.

Katia's been forgiving me just a little bit these days, but I don't know what would happen if we talked about getting engaged with me.

"If that happens, I, that kid could kill me."

"That's just too much to say."

"I think it's possible enough."

Sue's growing up to be a little arrogant, but it won't be that far.

In doing so, one man and another, a little girl, came into the waiting room.

Me and Katia look at the two of them who've been in the room, and they open their mouths with pokernels.

The two ears that came into the room were longer than that of a human.

"I'll see you first. This time, as a goodwill ambassador to the elves, I was to be troubled by this country, called Potimus Hyfenas. I'm the one who called the two of you. Later."

The man, Elf's Potimus, introduced himself in a pale tone.

I've never seen an elf before.

I knew there was an elf, but when I look at the real thing like this, I get the feeling that this is a different world after all.

"Hmm. You have it"

Something, along with the uncomfortable feeling, Potimus narrows his eyes.

"Oka, these two have. And then there's your share."

"Yes, sir. I get it."

"Then I'll be excused for this"

"Thank you very much."

As it is, Potimus just leaves the room.

The rest of us, Katia and I, can only be dismayed.

I didn't have time to introduce myself to this one, and I left in no time.

I turn my gaze to the little girl left, not knowing what to do.

"Hmm. Then I will introduce myself -. My current (...) name is Filimes Hyfenas. Ugh. Nice to see you again."

Katia and I, face to face.

I don't know what to do after being introduced to myself by such a little girl.

"Doctor, when you introduce yourself, I think it's polite for you to name yourself, too. Ooh. Why don't you go over there?

"Excuse me. My name is Shrein Zagan Analate, the fourth prince of this country."

"The Duke of Anabaldo's family is my eldest daughter, Carnatia Seri Anabaldo"

Girls urge me to introduce myself in a hurry.

"Yeah, yeah. Are you the prince and the duke? Wow. I adore it."

I harden into that word.

It's called a strangely habitual way of talking from earlier, its called behavior, and wearing it with someone you know.

That seems to be the same for Katia, who was lying on the side, with her eyes open.

"No way, Oka!?

"You shouldn't put it on the teacher, huh? But you're right."

It was Oka-chanko and Kanami Okazaki who were there for us in our previous lives.

This teacher, nicknamed Oka, was a pretty unfortunate person.

If I imitated the tone of a comic book character I haunted when I was a student, that would be the vegan tone.

Go to a university that is strong in history due to the influence of warring country comics.

Mr. Reverse Light Source Drafting a plan to become a school teacher.

He was quite a shame teacher.

However, the pity was on the contrary received by the students and was highly popular.

"So, Doctor, why are you in this country?

"That's because I found out there were two of them. Ooh. It's pretty much a topic of discussion, huh? There was a hell of a genius born more than once in the Analetes."

We speak Japanese to a mentor we haven't met in a long time.

I already gave you the name of my previous life.

The moment I heard Katia's name, I opened my eyes and wanted to "adore you" the next moment.

"You came all this way to see us?

"That's not all I'm here for, but hey. Doctor, I'm still a teacher. I figured I should check the students' cheapness. Well, there's no cheap or nothing at the time of rebirth."

I'm a teacher who jokes and tells, but I think the will is splendid.

I was only conscious of living in this world.

I never thought of looking for another classmate.

"This world is dangerous, unlike Japan, so hey. If you can protect it, you better hurry."

I never thought about that either.

There are demons, and even though it's obvious if you think about it, I assumed on my own that other classmates are safe because I'm safe.

"So, the teacher's here to protect us?

"No eh. The two of you are in a position to do that. It's not like you can take him wheel-wheel-wheel-wheel. Protect yourself in an elf only if you want to."

"Does that mean you've already found some people?

"Yes. Twelve students in the elves and five other students with successful contacts together. I can confirm the location of the other two, so I'll see you later."

We had 25 students in our class.

That means six more people, we don't know where they're going.

But on the contrary, it would also mean that there are only six more students who are missing.

It must have been pretty hard to find that many students in this vast world.

"Doctor, you've been doing that for us."

"As a teacher. Sooo. Besides, most students are found as human beings in the human realm. It wasn't as hard as I said."

Still, it is clear that the teacher would have allocated considerable effort.

I bowed my head to the teacher again.

"Well, there's some stories to accumulate. Dow, teachers will soon be enrolled in schools in this country. We'll talk more about it then."

Me and Katia will be attending that school soon.

The new life was just around the corner.
